HANDY FLO BRAZING PASTE® 100 General Purpose

HANDY FLO BRAZING PASTE® 100 is used for low temperature, general purpose brazing alloys. This series contains general purpose flux binder systems with an active temperature range of 95°F to 1500°F (510°C to 1000°C). Suitable for use with a variety of heat sources including torch induction, resistance and occasionally furnace.

Brazing pastes made with these systems are typically 65% metal, however other concentrations are available depending upon the application. The addition of boron will increase the temperature protection by 100°F making it better suited for larger mass components.

Brazing and soldering pastes incorporate filler metal, flux, and a binder in a one-step application process. Because pastes are readily applied, they lend themselves well to both manual and automated production operations. We offer several flux/binder systems for specific temperature ranges and brazing processes.

Can be used for most low temperature brazing alloys. Ideal for copper, copper alloys, nickel alloys, mild steel and some stainless steels. Typical formulations are 65% metal, however other concentrations are available.
